When I first posted in this thread, I was only planning to a Windows 10 server build, now it's done and I am pretty impressed.

I always build my PC's and this was no different. Running an i5-6400 Skylake processor on a Z170M based motherboard. 16GB DDR4 RAM, a 128GB M/2 SSD for the OS, and 3x3 WD Red drives for storage. Windows 10 runs great headless and use Plex Media Server to stream everything.

While I did use more expensive hardware than I originally planned, that also will provide me with plenty or service time from the machine. I got 5 years out of my WHS2011 box so I am anticipating much the same out of this.
